Expectations Fail: 'Obama Misinterpreted His Mandate'



January 4, 2011

Having been elected on a wave of hope four years ago, Barack Obama now faces a significant drop in popularity among disillusioned Democrats.

­Back then, a historic campaign turned US politics into a pop culture phenomenon. The Democratic candidate achieved unprecedented support, international fame and a record-breaking US $650 million in donations. Thousands of New Yorkers celebrated the victory, clutching an enormous American flag hand-sewn by Obama supporters.

"The jaws of power are always open to devour, and her arm is always stretched out, if possible, to destroy the freedom of thinking, speaking, and writing."

John Adams

Hello Siv Maria:

Yes, most likely great theater and a lot of mud slinging.

Take care,

ps: Having been doing any mud surfing up North? Hopefully, not.
